Since the spinlock is not used in any interrupt context we can

Patch looks good but change log doesn't reflect it.
Do you want to say that below API's are not used from
interrupt context, so mutex should be good enough ?

This assumption is really not true. Time APIs can get called
from IRQ context from client drivers. You can just drop
this patch.
